Electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibrous membranes loaded with baicalin for antibacterial wound dressing 2023-05-22

Due to the rise in bacterial resistance, the antibacterial extractions from Chinese herbs have been used more frequently for wound care. In this work, baicalin, an extraction from the Chinese herb Scutellaria baicalensis, was utilized as the antibacterial component in the poly(ε-caprolactone)/MXene (PCL/Ti3C2TX) hybrid nanofibrous membranes for wound dressing. The results revealed that the presence of Ti3C2TX aided in the diameter reduction of the electrospun nanofibers. The PCL hybrid membrane containing 3 wt% Ti3C2TX nanoflakes and 5 wt% baicalin exhibited the smallest mean diameter of 210 nm. Meanwhile, the antibacterial tests demonstrated that the PCL ternary hybrid nanofibers containing Ti3C2TX and baicalin exhibited adequate antibacterial activity against the Gram-positive bacterial S. aureus due to the good synergistic effects of Ti3C2TX naoflakes and baicalin. The addition of Ti3C2TX nanoflakes and baicalin could significantly improve the hydrophilicity of the membranes, result
